As we previously announced in the
summer, we have been busily preparing a brand new version of Dispens-IT that is ready for use with the new “Falsified
Medicines Directive” (FMD) verification system.

The UK hub of the FMD system is being operated
by a not-for-profit organisation called SecurMed and they are currently running
tests on all software products that wish to connect to the hub to ensure
they measure up!

We are very proud to announce that Dispens-IT has passed the necessary tests and is now eligible
to connect to the live UK national system, which is just coming online.

All pharmacies and dispensing practices
will need to register in order to access the national FMD system and this is
starting to happen now, ready for the February “go live”.You can either register directly via
the SecurMed website, or ask your software supplier (that’s us!) to
register for you.

If you would like us to register your
practice so that you are ready to connect to the FMD system - or if you
have any queries about it all - then please contact us either by phone or
email:
